Mohamed Salah stunned the Premier League by scoring four goals for Liverpool against Watford at the weekend.

It was a superb individual display which left fans of rival clubs wondering how they can find a player to match him.

Salah was not the only player in Europe to bag four goals in a match at the weekend, with Mauro Icardi scoring a quartet of goals in a 5-0 victory over Sampdoria.

His strikes should be of real interest to Manchester United fans, with the Red Devils linked with a big money move for Icardi just a month ago.

Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport reported United and PSG are keen on Icardi, who has never played in the Champions League.

The prolific Argentine striker has a £97 million release clause in his contract and Inter are hoping to get him to extend his current deal, which runs until 2021.

Icardi is represented by Mino Raiola, who has struck several deals with United in recent seasons.

Romelu Lukaku has done just fine for United this season, but adding Icardi to the mix would transform the Red Devils' options if they push through a deal.

The 25-year-old has scored 22 goals in 24 games this season, and if United really are going to tool up to battle Liverpool, Manchester City and the rest of Europe, moving for Icardi this summer would be a major statement.
